Mexico City. América coach André Jardine believes that the 1-0 victory over Chivas in the national classic serves as a sporting boost and is also a guide to adapt to their temporary home, the Ciudad de los Deportes stadium, during the renovations of the Azteca stadium.
“Today we feel supported, and that is contagious for the team. It is important to get used to this stadium, to feel that the “blue” stadium is ours, to feel at least for a while that it is also our home,” he said.
He pointed out that the victory could also be crucial to raising the level after a season in which they have suffered from several absences, both from injuries and from call-ups to national teams.
“This team has a very strong DNA and we will always respect and work for that, but we have had many difficulties. Now it will be about finding the best possible ways (to play) and earning points,” he said.
Gago accepts the pain of defeat
Despite the defeat, Chivas coach Fernando Gago preferred to remain even-tempered, pointing out that although they did not get the result they expected, the team has been consistent and will soon recover its good form.
“Today’s result is bitter, it’s annoying, yes, but we will continue working to achieve what we want to do,” said the helmsman.
When questioned about Armando González’s mistakes, the coach backed the young striker by saying that “it’s a game, it’s about trial and error, we just have to keep working.”
